Learn how to make a tender pot roast with this Ninja Foodi Pot Roast recipe. Uses all the benefits of the Ninja Foodi like the pressure cooker, air fryer, and sear and sauté functions. Includes just 5 ingredients.
Warm your water in the microwave for 1 minute. Then, stir in the beef bouillon
Sprinkle the roast with the spice mixture and pour on the bouillon broth. Top with a stick of butter and the peppers.
Sit the cooking pot in the Foodi base and twist & lock the pressure cooker lid. Double check that your vent on the lid is turned to "seal"
Select "Pressure Cooker", and cook on “High” for 1.5 hours.
Once the clock reaches zero, you can allow the pressure to release normally (~15 minutes). If you’re in a rush, you can release the pressure quickly by turning your vent on the lid from "seal" to "vent".
Optional: For a crispier finish, add the air fryer lid and crisp the outside of the roast for 10 minutes on 400 degrees.

Notes
Pre-sear the Meat:It's completely optional to brown the meat before adding the broth. To do this in the Foodi, just turn the "sauté/sear" to "high" and add 1 tbsp of the butter. Season both sides of the roast and brown it for 2 minutes per side. Make Pan Gravy:After your roast is complete, you might want to make an easy gravy. Simply remove your roast, and add 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum to the pan drippings. Cook on the "sauté/sear" function on "high" until the gravy is as thick as you'd like. Add vegetables like carrots:I haven't tried this in my own kitchen, but a reader used the quick release and added carrots as well as potatoes during the last 15 minutes of pressure cooking.
